📣 For the sixth year in a row, Cliff's Local Market has teamed up with Kelberman for the Autism Acceptance Campaign, highlighting their commitment to promoting acceptance, and raising awareness & funds for autism in our local community.

Throughout October, all Cliff’s Local Market locations sold autism acceptance cards to support Kelberman’s charitable efforts.

These efforts raised a total of nearly $38,000 - WOW! ✨

💙 A big thanks to the Clifford Family, Cliff's Local Market employees and customers, Noah and his family, and to our amazing community members for making this campaign a success!

With 1 in 31 children in the United States currently diagnosed with autism, the need for comprehensive services for individuals and families remains crucial.

Noah was diagnosed with autism at just 14 months old. At Kelberman, his journey truly changed.

Noah receives Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy through Kelberman. He also attended our inclusive summer camp, Kamp Connections. At camp, Noah had fun each day rock climbing and playing soccer, building connections to last a lifetime.

Now eight-years-old and in the third grade, the support he has received through Kelberman helped him build important communication and social skills, giving him the tools to succeed both in school and in everyday life.

His mother reflects on their journey: “We could never do this alone - it takes the right staff and a strong community. At Kelberman, they give their love, support and a kind of magic that transforms lives.”

It takes continued support from our community to help deliver and enhance Kelberman services locally. Your support is vital in helping Kelberman continue to offer life-changing services and create brighter futures. Please consider a gift today and help kids like Noah succeed.
